Where to Stay When Visiting Northern Trust (Chicago)
Northern Trust's headquarters is in downtown Chicago, on LaSalle in the financial district. Match the hotel to the district — and the airport to the hotel. Chicago's spread and its two airports both matter.
Northern Trust is a financial-services and wealth-management firm, headquartered at 50 S LaSalle St, Chicago, IL 60603. That's downtown Chicago — the Loop and River North, the financial and corporate core along Wacker Drive and LaSalle Street, dense with business hotels and stitched together by the 'L' and the river.
“Northern Trust is on LaSalle in the heart of the financial district. Stay in the Loop and walk to the meeting.”— Rachel Julian, Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Which airport — and how far?
Two airports. Midway (MDW) on the southwest side is usually the shorter ride downtown — about 25 minutes, and a Southwest hub. O'Hare (ORD) to the northwest is bigger with far more connections, about 40 minutes via the Kennedy or the Blue Line. For a downtown-only trip, Midway is the quick hop; for connections, O'Hare.
Where should you stay near Northern Trust?
Stay downtown in the Loop or River North near Northern Trust — the core is compact and walkable (the Pedway helps in winter), so most downtown business hotels put you within a short walk or 'L' ride of the office. This is a stay-central trip; skip the suburbs.

What should you check before booking?
The district gets you close; the room still has to protect the work. Run the pick through the Sales-Ready basics — a real work surface, a quiet room, a lobby you'd host in — using the hotel details that decide the trip and the Sales-Ready Index.
The standard
Northern Trust is a Chicago HQ where two choices decide the trip: the district and the airport. Book near the office in the downtown Chicago area, fly Midway (MDW), and keep the wrong-side-of-town commute off your morning.
